10. "Every bull horn TV and Radio station needed to be used to get the message across."
Mon Dec 16, 2024, 09:41 AM
Dec 16

That is where close to half a billion dollars were spent - ads on TV (OTA, cable, satellite, streaming), radio (OTA, satellite, streaming), independent internet steaming (on a multitude of internet streaming platforms like YouTube and their various topic programming), fixed highway and mobile billboards, banner planes, projectors that display messages on the sides of buildings, AND use of the new LED-enabled "messaging" facilities like this in Las Vegas that ran on their "Sphere" -



No there was NOT any "lack" (quantity) of "messaging" but perhaps a need for different "message content"... However more importantly, there is a need for our OWN microphone, owned by "LIBERALS/PROGRESSIVES", that runs 24/7/365 - whether on radio (that DU laughs at yet it works for the GOP) using a complete line-up of syndicated talkers AND using the latest talk format phenomena that has started to obsolete the traditional "broadcast" outlets - the "podcast" (and in this case, needing to go beyond the fly-by-night "influencer" thing). There needs to be a whole suite of "podcasters" talking "liberal/progressive" ideas and ideals.
